Louise
From walking in, we were amazed at the size of the cottage. It was so spacious & very clean! Fresh flowers, tea, coffee, sugar, milk & biscuits were a lovely touch, ready for our arrival. We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch in the King William pub just around the corner. Food & Service was fantastic! Tesco & Co-op is situated in the town centre which is only a 5 minute drive, so that was handy.

Helen made the arrival easy and even had refreshments available for us. We stayed for Christmas and the cottage was nicely decorated too. Thanks very much for a lovely week. We would definitely recommend Tower Cottage for a stay in the lakes.
